The Grammy debate on the music style of Glory to Death actually began at the end of December, when a new round of "Does the appearance of Glory to Death mean the loss of the essence of rock..." , But everyone’s eyes were not focused on the Grammys, not to mention that the Michael-Jackson incident is gradually going to be violent, even the follow-up influence brought by the Junjie Music Festival is overwhelming.

However, these controversies are like a snowball. As time advances, the time limit for the 36th Grammy's announcement of the nomination list is getting closer. This kind of controversy becomes more and more lively. Some judges believe that the glory is the highest I should participate in the selection of the rock department, because no matter how the style of the band changes, it is still rock in the final analysis.

Another part of the review believes that glory to death should also be eligible to participate in the selection of the popular department, not only in "Hollywood is not the United States (, s..., "Love is a lie (...is.a., "Nothing () "There is a strong popular style among the songs, and the overall style of the album is more popular and closer to the audience.

Some judges insisted that Honor to Death is not qualified to participate in the selection of the rock department, let alone popular. They believe that Honor to Death can only participate in the selection of alternative music, and this restricts the qualification of Honor to Death. Eligibility, can only participate in the competition for one award.

But on the other hand, a group of judges believe that the glorious music style is actually not an alternative rock, but an attempt at fusion. Strictly speaking, only the song "Small Heroes (... is considered an alternative. Music and other songs should be selected in the rock department.

This kind of mixed dispute reached its culmination in a music review in Rolling Stone magazine. They believed that glory to death was not as good as the praise of music critics, and the existence of these disputes was not necessary at all.

According to music critics, Glory to Death is compared to the revolution set off by the Nirvana band in 1991. The fate shock is not worth mentioning, just a group of ordinary music lovers who rely on hype topics and music novelties to attract attention, so glory to death cannot be regarded as "alternative music" at all.

This statement is due to the super-high sales of Rolling Stone, which has been pushed to a whole new level. Although the five members of the glory to the death did not participate in any publicity, they were all chased by reporters.

The Hugo filmed in the "Pulp Fiction" crew is obviously the biggest target. The reporters caught the first one. After listening to the reporters' questions, Hugo was completely dumbfounded. In fact, he felt more incredible. , Is this the limit that the Grammy Awards can do-there is no way to define the style of the band?

"Let me ask you a question. Did they define the style of our band?" Hugo looked at the reporters in front of him for a while. He couldn't believe that Grammy would make such a mistake. He was just a For the audience, looking at the nomination list and the list of winners, there is no special feeling, but now to experience it for yourself, it feels completely different.

A reporter immediately said, "But the sales of the album'Almost Fame' has been certified platinum."

"So do you use sales to define the style of a band? Or does Grammy use sales to define a band?" When Hugo said this, his brows couldn't help but frowned. He felt that this was too much. It's ridiculous, it can even be said to be an insult. "I never knew that the original music style is defined by sales!"

Although sales are very important for any singer, because this is the most direct feedback from the general public on music, this is definitely not the only criterion, otherwise there is no need for Grammys to exist. It is sufficient to have a bulletin board music award. The artistry of music is an existence that no one can ignore. Even if it is a niche audience, there are also many outstanding works, even far better than the so-called mainstream music.

Seeing the silence of the reporters in front of him, Hugo was really furious. The music he produced with countless efforts has suffered such treatment, as if all his hard work and all persistence looked like A joke is average, this is the biggest insult to the creator.

"Grass!" Hugo could not help but blurted out, bitterly venting his dissatisfaction. He can accept that some people don't like glorious music, and he can also accept criticism or even abuse of glorious music, because these are inevitable. It will exist, no one can please everyone; but he absolutely can't accept the insistence of someone insulting glory to death, "Damn, who the **** can define the style of our band? Who!" The reporter was speechless. The reason why Glory to Death was originally combined was because they wanted to break the current rock trend and want to produce their own music, but now they have wiped out their style because of the success in sales. It is tantamount to obliterating the glorious rock spirit, which is absolutely unacceptable for Hugo.

Those radical remarks that believe that glory to death are insulting and destroying rock and roll are taken for granted in Hugo's eyes, because glory to death is to break all restrictions and embrace freedom in the world of rock and roll; but now it is because of the success of sales. And all the efforts to be denied glory to death, thinking that glory to death is only a member of mainstream music, this is not only absurd, it is simply anger of leaving.

"I call our band's music style nutal. Who the **** can stand up and say no, and whoever of you can make different remarks in the hell? Your **** thoughts think it counts. Isn't it an alternative rock?" Hugo's curses wave after wave, aggressively, leaving the reporters in front of him with no room for rebuttal, all of them froze in place.

Hugo today is very different from before. He did not play any conspiracy or conspiracy, nor did he involve other topics in circuitous warfare. He was simply discussing his profession. Music and acting are his profession. Now His profession was actually insulted. This is absolutely unbearable. Even if the other party is the Grammy Awards, it is absolutely unbearable, because this is his profession and his insistence on his dignity. To be precise Hugo was even more angry and speechless because the other party was a Grammy, so Hugo rebutted it righteously, stupefied that all reporters couldn't say a word.

"Damn, if they can't even define our music style, what qualifications do they have to discuss our nomination qualifications, and what qualifications do they have to hold a music feast? They can't distinguish between style and sales. They There is no way to accurately define alternatives. They can't even identify whether our band is alternative rock or not. I don't see any value in participating in such a so-called'feast'. So, you can go."

Hugo only felt that he was really disappointed. Although he didn't point to "Grammy" explicitly, the meaning of the words could not be clearer. Grammy actually questioned the glorious music style and nomination qualifications, so in turn, he also questioned the professionalism of Grammy!

In Hugo's view, Nirvana was a natural alternative music when it launched "Don't Mind" in 1991. They vividly interpret the essence of alternative rock. They should have been recognized by Grammy alternative music in the first place; but now it is rubbish. Rock has gradually become the mainstream. The mainstream mentioned here does not refer to Nirvana’s album sales, but refers to the countless bands similar to Nirvana’s style. They have become the main force in the market, so at this time garbage rock is no longer an alternative music category. Now, a unique and distinctive style has been formed. Nirvana and Pearl Sauce should not participate in the competition for alternative music, but should enter the competition for other awards in the rock department.

The same is true for glory to death. 1993 was only the first year when new metal rock came out. Of course, it should be alternative music. After 1995 or 1997, new metal rock has completely become a special category in the market. By then, there should be no new metal rock position in alternative music.

The so-called alternative music should actually be innovations and breakthroughs in music styles, which are not directly related to sales, and should focus on the music trends of the entire market. Such vision and judgment should be the level that Grammys should have. But it is a pity that Grammys disappointed Hugo. Their blurring of commerciality and artistic quality became even more warm because of the rigid and rigorous old academic judges. Ambiguous, this is an insult to every independent musician who makes music seriously. If so, it might as well not set up an alternative music department!

Not only Hugo, but the other teammates who died of glory were also angered. Fujin's words confirmed all reporters' speculations. uukanshu.com "Grass, we have worked so hard for so long not to be classified into the category of junk rock. We work so hard to make music. It's not that those old scholastics who are stuffed with dung in their heads are there to say **** jokes! Grass! If that The brainy judges can’t even tell the **** about our music style, so they still have the face to hold an awards ceremony? Our band doesn’t bother to participate in this kind of ceremony. This is simply an insult to me! Grass! Licking my **** !"

Obviously, glory to death clearly expressed: they are very dissatisfied with the Grammys, they are not willing to attend the Grammys!

This is not uncommon. The rock circle is originally characterized by an endless stream of people with personalities. There are people who blatantly point to Grammy's nose every year, and glory to death is just one of them. However, in order to maintain their fair and authoritative image, the Grammys will not only not block these people, on the contrary they will continue to give nominations and even award awards if necessary. Of course, the focus still depends on the final decision of the judges. There are countless rock bands that Grammys have forever banned.

Soon, the Grammys responded to the fierce remarks of the glory to the death. On the announced thirty-sixth Grammy nomination list, the names of the glory to the death were listed impressively.
